Can you believe they've come this far by now? Once known as OpenBeOS, Haiku today announced the release of the fourth alpha for Haiku R1. It seems like only yesterday when BeOS died and OpenBeOS rose form its ashes, generating a new hope among the legions of avid BeOS fans. Now, almost twelve years later, we've hit the fourth alpha.

But that doesn't mean it will be a priority. I'd rank ARM higher than multiuser. I'm not really sure I've ever needed multiuser for BeOS. It was only ever me using the machine, it's not like anyone else was. Plus, ARM is already in development... and is reasonably close to working prior to R1.
